Produktion und Kontext

The volume assembles papers held at the 7th International Conference of the Germanic Studies Work Group on Scholarly Editing, focussing either on individual authors or specific editing problems. The individual articles address questions pertaining to the extent to which a specific context influences the production of a work and how such contextual conditions (or dependencies) can be reflected in editing work. With reference to a period ranging from the Middle Ages to the present, both individual and typical contextual influences on work production are illustrated and discussed, with special reference to Dutch and German authors and their literary, musical, theological or historical texts.
